Chromogenic film
Chromogenic literally means 'colour forming'. In chromogenic films the final image is made of coloured dyes formed during processing rather than Silver Halide.
Chromogenic Film
These include Black & White films which are designed to processed in C-41 (color) chemistry. Example: Kodak CN400, Ilford XP-2.
Chromogenic film is a hybrid of sorts. It is essentially balck and white film designed to be processed in standard color chemistry (C41 process). These films can be printed with regular balck and white materials.
So that's what chromogenic film is - black and white film which uses chromogenic black dye rather than silver.
You really should view the minilab results you get with chromogenic films (T-Max 400CN, Ilford XP2 (and Super) as proofs, in the old-fashioned sense. The black-and-white results spook operators and maybe some machines.

Fixer is used for processing all commonly used films, including black and white films, colour negative films (C41), colour reversal films (E6), and chromogenic films.
As before the quality of the prints can sometimes be a little poor although it is improving as more processors get set up for using this type of film. In use chromogenic film is very forgiving of exposure errors as it has latitude similar to that of ...
